Don't work at Walmart if you don't like the wages and benefits.
I am thinking I'm probably going to have to seek a job at the local Walmart. Anyone have any other ideas for me? I have worked for my husband's business for over 25 yrs. with no salary except my living. That seems to be winding down, and I can almost see the handwriting on the wall for me needing to find some sort of a job that a 59 yr. old woman won't collapse working at. What is the old joke? Watch out that your man doesn't trade you in for two 30 yr. olds when you turn 60. Mine hasn't - so far. I think younger women who have already been divorced a time or two are ready for security and want to find a fat old man, with a fat life insurance policy, a fat salary, a fat savings account, fat stocks and bonds, fat property holdings, and a fat head that truly believes the little dear loves him because he is so irresistible! These poor old guys don't stand a chance if a real gold digging conniver who doesn't give a rip how hard the first (old) wife worked to help accumulate what they have starts laying groundwork. I'm afraid one of these gals would be VERY disappointed when she finally did get a load of our financial portfolio. Ha.
One woman I knew from the old hometown married a very prominent man. She hid the fact that he beat her black and blue on a regular basis. When he beat her, she would just hide in the bedroom of the old mansion until her bruises and scrapes healed. Then he finally filed for a divorce, and no one would believe her about the beatings. Actually, a lot of their money came from HER family inheritance; however, her husband had so much clout in that little town that the court awarded him everything (according to her story) and she was left with nothing. That sounded pretty wild to me, but maybe I'm just naive.
